The preparation and characterization of two novel amino-incorporated sulfur-bridged dinuclear iron (I) complexes of the type [NR(μ-SCH<sub>2sub>)<sub>2sub>]Fe<sub>2sub>(CO)<sub>6sub>, one being amino protected [N(CH<sub>2sub>CH<sub>2sub>NHTs)(μ-SCH<sub>2sub>)<sub>2sub>]Fe<sub>2sub>(CO)<sub>6sub> (8) and the other [(μ- SCH<sub>2sub>)<sub>2sub>Fe<sub>2sub>(CO)<sub>6sub>NCH<sub>2sub>CH<sub>2sub>N (μ-SCH<sub>2sub>)<sub>2sub>]Fe<sub>2sub>(CO)<sub>6sub> (9) are described. These two complexes are readily prepared in a S<sub>Nsub>2 manner between double lithium anion and bis(chloromethyl) amine derivatives. The structures of 8 and 9 were characterized by IR, 1H, 13C NMR, MS and HRMS spectra and further determined by X-ray analyses. Protonation of complex 8 gave the mono N-protonated product, while for 9 the protonation occurred in both of the N atoms. The redox properties were evaluated by cyclic voltammograms. It was shown that these two complexes can catalyze electrochemical reduction of proton to molecular hydrogen.
